one of my absolute favorites!

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
